The remaining 21 players in today’s 12pm Omaha/8 tournament are on a 40-minute dinner break. Cards go back in the air just before 7:15pm and they’ll need to lose nine more players before the final 12 are in the money. We will pick up this event again once the bubble bursts and the final table nears.

Level 8: 800/1,600 Limits
Entrants: 86
The Omaha/8 tournament is approaching the second break of the day and registration will close when they return. They have 86 entries into the game and we expect a few more before they close the books.
Joel Harwood’s first bullet did not end well but we don’t doubt he can run the second one up to a nice score. And he has some history behind him.
Harwood, father of two-time WSOP bracelet winner Loni Harwood, has a final table appearance in the Omaha/8 tournament during four of the last five major SHRP series. The most exciting one came when he finished in third place during the 2015 SHRPO Omaha/8 event but had most of his attention online following along from afar as Loni won the WSOP National Championship at the same time.

Level 2: 150/300 Limits
Entrants: 45
The Omaha/8 tournament kicked off on schedule with a nice, talented field here in early action including reigning Seminole Hard Poker Player of the Year David Prociak.
The Orlando pro picked up his POY hardware thanks to a great run in 2015/2016 and he hasn’t slowed down. Prociak also enjoys a little four-card poker and he picked up another trophy in the Pot Limit Omaha game during the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open this summer.

Level 1: 100/200 Limits
We still have six flights to power through in Event 1 but we’ll find our first 2016 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open” champion while they play down.
Event 2 is a $300 buy-in tournament and they’ll be playing some Limit Omaha/8 all day long. The split-pot game draws a smaller crowd but it will be a talented group of players trying to scoop their opponents.
Each entrant will sit down to a 10,000 starting stack and they’ll play 30-minute levels from start to finish. Late registration is available until the start of Level 9 at 4:30pm and they can re-enter during that time if they manage to bust a stack. This is scheduled as a one-day tournament and we’ll have our first champion of the series before the night is through.
Action gets underway at noon and we’ll keep an eye on them as the cruise through the day.
